A Rekindled Heart
I don't understand this warm emotion.
Love? No, not since the Death of my young wife -
Whose holy light cured my own damnation.
When she died, I again felt Satan's knife!
Then able to steal, beat, kill past mercy
And He heard no plea for my forgiveness.
Both mournful love and vengeful-sin curse me
With a penance - 'Life Absent Happiness'.
Yet you, you warm my heart, nourish my soul,
But you are bounded, you love another -
A close friend, who I've helped to reach his goal.
You were his prize, while I played big-brother.
Karoline, I love you,
As sleeping, peaceful lungs love the next breath
...no reason...
Canida, I love you,
Gathering the courage to meet in Death,
...this season...
